This is a very simple tool for converting a GPX file (probably from a handheld GPS device) to a GeoJSON. Your GPX file may have more information than just the actual track (waypoints, for example), but this tool will just return a MultiLinePoint GeoJSON. The kind of thing you might want to load into Leaflet, for example.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'gpx2geojson'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install gpx2geojson
To parse a file, open it e.g. file = File.open(some_file_path.gpx) and parse with Gpx2geojson.parse(file). That will return the JSON string, so you may need to parse it again using Ruby's JSON.parse.
